A lovely short (15 minutes long) documentary about the sheep, wool and knitting of the Faroe Islands. Explores the rich history, island yarn producers and designers in their studios/shops, along with the 100+ motifs associated with the island. A worthy watch!

Let the games begin!

Clue #1 is out for the latest Stephen West MKAL called MusiKAL. This one has a real good vibe. Clue #1 is a bit of a challenge but fun, like most of his patterns are.

Want to join in? Clues every Thursday.

Someone here recently was looking for size-inclusive knitting patterns. These 20 are all dupes, sized up. See link!

🐸🧶🐸 Lookity look, the frog is ON!!

Thanks to #FinishOrFrogAlong, I was finally able to let go of this project that just wasn't calling to me anymore.

Nordic roots (Estonian, Germanic) -a culture of no waste and finishing what you start - can be helpful, but not always. This shawl had become a torment. Fun to plan, not fun to knit.

It's OK to frog. It's healthy to frog!

Speaking of brainfarts:
Someone suggested to make cross stitch patterns of some of my pixel art. I don't do cross stitch, but I know for sure that 32x32 stitches would be a bit small. 😂
I'm considering it, but I do wonder which sizes are good for cross stitch projects. I'd be thankful for some input.
Would this be even interesting to you?
